"Believing Christians should look upon themselves as such a creative minority and ... espouse once again the best of its heritage, thereby being at the service of humankind at large." --Joseph Ratzinger

I like the message at the end...Life is good!Life is good because God is good! (the Dept. of Homeland Security should be very afraid of that concept.)And it only got down to 9 degrees F, Matt. Don't be such a whimp! Life is good at all temperatures. (Unless, of course, you are in hell, in which case, you are not enjoying much of anything anyway.)

ACTUALLY “I AM”“I AM” is the name God gives to all newly begotten human beings. God gives us HIS NAME: “I AM WHO I AM”, HE WHO IS, BEING. The soul cries out: “I AM” and the body grows a mouth to proclaim. The soul hears: “I AM” and the body grows ears to hear. The soul cries out: “I AM HE WHO LOVES”, and the body grows a heart. The soul cries out: “I AM HE WHO KNOWS” and the body grows a brain. The soul cries out: “I AM HE WHO SERVES”, and the body grows arms and legs, and chest and back. Those individuals who choose to renounce God, still have souls. Without an acknowledgement of God, they cannot appreciate their soul, their existence, their reason for being, their sovereign personhood. They cannot appreciate OUR CREATOR, WHO makes them human.It is only when God wills to create a sovereign person's soul, does another human being come into existence. Man and woman can have intercourse until they expire with nothing but futility until God wills life to be and a sovereign person's soul is created by "OUR CREATOR". Atheists deny these "self-evident" "truths" inscribed in The Declaration of Independence, upon which the Constitution for America is predicated, and in doing so voluntarily separate themselves from their citizenship in a country founded upon these principles, "that all men are created equal and endowed by OUR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights and that among these rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The Supreme Court said that the atheist "could go her own way". Must we follow? "We hold these truths to be self-evident" or not. WE MUST CHOOSE.

Beautiful. I loved living in the DC area and taking our family to the March, even in sub-freezing temps. I wasn't Catholic yet, but their presence was unmistakable, and I am grateful to be among them (even if it's not there:-).
